Convert to database-first configuration with token storage

- Rename config.json → seed.json to clarify seeding purpose
- Update ConfigManager to be database-first with minimal file fallbacks
- Store Discord token in database instead of environment variables
- Remove allowedSfxChannels functionality completely
- Update seeding script to import token from seed.json to database
- Add token field to bot_config table in database schema
- Update Docker volume mount to use seed.json
- Update gitignore to protect seed.json while allowing seed.example.json

Configuration Flow:
1. First run: Import from seed.json to database (one-time seeding)
2. Runtime: All configuration from SQLite database
3. Fallback: Environment variables if database unavailable

Security: All sensitive data now stored in encrypted SQLite database
